If you stopped paying on your auto insurance policy it would be cancelled due to non-payment and cause problems for you. One problem would be that this cancellation will show up on your credit record as non-payment and not only be a black mark on your credit rating but also make it difficult to find car insurance in the future. Many insurance providers will not want to insure an individual that has previously not paid on their auto insurance policy.

If you fail to pay the fee and get insurance, it will result in the revocation and/or suspension of the car’s registration. Driving while the vehicle registration is suspended is a misdemeanor. If found driving without proof of insurance in West Dougherty Georgia you will be also be subject to vehicle impoundment and fines.
